Hi everybody, I'm not sure if this subject was discussed list before or not. If so, sorry for inconvenience. (-: The question is related to "identd". Is it necessary for Mailing System to work properly or not? And if not, can I block its port (113) on the firewall without causing any problem for the services? I read somewhere that it's better to block "identd connections" by "reset action in IPFW" instead of "deny" or something like that. Blocking the port with using "deny action" makes the services like "sendmail" or "ircd" very slow. thanks, Nazila M. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the messagehelp
